Thank you to Mary K, her friends & family!!
My knitting friends at Yayasan Senang Hati (http://www.senanghati.org/) received generous donations of assorted yarns from Mary K, her friends & family from the USA.
Above: A baby afghan in progress. From yummy soft Sirdar Snuggly pink yarn with speckles of other colors - 4 skeins were donated.
Rotaractor Tika and Ibu Ayu working on their current projects. Tika is using Variegated (I think Red Heart) to make a "sideways" scarf - cast on 200+ stitches, then a wavy pattern (Old Shale - type). Ayu is using Navy Homespun for a top-down cap that will have a bit of a lace pattern at the brim.
Rotaractor Tika and Ibu Ayu display a scarf of modular blocks, made in 1.5 weeks by Ibu Eka from Gemala, using the same variegated that Tika is now using (there were 3-4 skeins!). Eka gave it to Yayasan Senang Hati to sell, and I think Tika will buy it as soon as Ayu gets their accountant to price it!
Dede, Ayu's son - just because he's such a cute little "ham".

Padded Clothes Hangers
My friends at Yayasan Senang Hati have already made some lace items for themselves (a small handbag, a scarf), so this was a VERY easy project - padded clothes hangers for displaying hand-knit tops. I provided plastic hangers, foam padding, and cotton yarn. They provided the labor.
Here is Omang, sewing the knitted strip around the foam and onto the hanger.
His wife Ayu displaying a completed hanger.
And Ketut showing a lace-bordered top that I made for myself, on one of her padded hangers!

Hand Knit Lace in Bali
Photos taken in my "studio" (aka the spare room in my Villa):
All of these items are made with cotton yarn purchased locally (manufactured in Surabaya on Java, I think).
Circular shawls, based on Marianne Kinzel's "Second Book of Modern Lace Knitting".
A full circle lace skirt in white, with a skinny-strap top and a coordinating short-sleeved shoulder shrug.
And I call this "Let's Salsa!" - a 3-piece set of ruffled skirt, skinny-strap top, and lace poncho - with "gold" beads just-because.

Halloween Party in Bali??
Yes, a Halloween Party in Bali!
A Fundraiser, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Bali Ubud, toward buying an ambulance for a local fee-free birthing clinic
Yes, that’s Tandy “in the pink”. What’s my costume? “A clinging vine” – a long green knitted (of course!) vine braided into my almost-waist-length hair, then looped and pinned around my head and shoulders. I had fun trying out a variety of flower and leaf patterns – roses, sunflowers, trumpet flowers, sort-of-poppy, oak leaf, and more. Oh, in case you’re wondering, that is not a large-ego sized TANDY in red-and-white in front of me. It’s a Tango cookie tin – just happened to be perfectly positioned for the photo!
Who is with me? Well, Daisy from Java is in the Kabuki makeup taking money. She’s our current Treasurer. And sitting beside me is Reki of Lady Bamboo Villa – hence the bamboo leaves in her hair!

A WIDE variety - from Bali, from other parts of Indonesia, from Singapore, Australia, India, Germany, France, USA, Canada, and more. Some who live in Bali, some who live part-time in Bali, and some who were just in Bali for vacation!
